Completed Computer Basic Course? or Are You Preparing

Computer Operator Exam? Test how much you’ve learned.

There is no end of learning. Each study is vast enough. When you talk about Microsoft Windows, I doubt if you argue that it might take ages to master. Disagree? How many times you cared to learn ‘Adding TCP or UDP port to allow a service run through firewall?’ or ‘identified that your virtual memory should be increased’ or ‘Decide when to stop or restart a service’ or there might be many others that require attention of only a few top techs.

Here I am going to point out those essential aspects of Microsoft Windows that are required for anybody who is studying Basic Course on Computer or who is preparing Computer Operator Exam of Lok Sewa Ayog (Public Service Commission), or any other similar institutions.

Ask following questions to yourself. If you can answer all of these questions positively, congratulations, you’ve learned very good.
